Château Latour 2008 re-release 2019

Jane Anson 98/100 Decanter (2018): "This takes a heartbeat to kick in,and then the weight and impact of this wine slowly kicks in. Those Cabernets have lift and punch, and although it's not ethereal like the Ausone or even the Lafite, it has power, structure, impact and kick, and you know it's going the distance. It has really lovely menthol notes which play around on the finish, preceded by layers of cassis and liquorice. It's more accessible than many Latours at 10 years old - just give it another couple of years to fully get into its stride." Drinking window 2020-2038.

Neal Martin 96/100 Vinous (2018): "The 2008 Latour has a more bold and concentrated bouquet compared to the Lafite-Rothschild, scents of blackberry, bilberry, iris, cigar humidor and cold wet stone that all surge from the glass. This is beautifully defined. The palate is medium-bodied with firm in tannin, a light marine influence infusing the black fruit, a little spice towards the finish with superb persistency. It is an authoritative Latour as usual, one now beginning to enter its stride although naturally it will last for two or three decades with ease." Drinking window 2018-2050.
